Two sessions are scheduled at 1:30-3:00pm and 3:30-5:00 pm on Jun 22, Friday before the GEM-CEDAR joint workshop, in Eldorado Hotel & Spa, Santa Fe, NM. The first session will be a joint session with another GEM focus group titled “Inter-hemispheric Approaches to Understand M-I Coupling (IHMIC)”, and the second session will be solely for the IEMIT focus group.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Since our IEMIT sessions are scheduled on Friday before the GEM-CEDAR workshop, we think that this is a great opportunity for both GEM and CEDAR scientists to join and discuss the recent results in the MI, IT, or MIT fields. This session will create synergy between the two communities and help to advance our physics-based understanding of the global MIT system. The detailed session description can be found at the following website:</div><div class=""><div class=""><a href="http://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/gemwiki/index.php/FG:_3D_Ionospheric_Electrodynamics_and_Its_Impact_on_the_Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere_Coupled_System" class="">http://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/gemwiki/index.php/FG:_3D_Ionospheric_Electrodynamics_and_Its_Impact_on_the_Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere_Coupled_System</a>.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you are interested in giving a talk, please send the title of your talk and the session you are interested in (joint IEMIT-IHMIC session or IEMIT session) to Hyunju Connor at (<a href="mailto:hkconnor@alaska.edu" class="">hkconnor@alaska.edu</a>).
